Saying goodbye to my Robert Ray

[GetFitStayFit]

Robert Ray has an appointment tomorrow at 4:00. I may be up against making that heart breaking decision.

I can’t get him to eat. I mixed his food with water to form a good gravy. The life in him is fading so quick.

The tears fall as I type this.
His favorite place is the front porch. He can’t go down the steps anymore since his set back Friday night. He has not recovered the use of that other back leg. He walks two steps and both legs fold under him.

I can’t tell if he is in pain, he doesn’t meow, he doesn’t let out any whimper.
I am just lost at what to do.

I am selfish so therefore; my prayer is he passes on his own and I don’t have to make this decision for him. Then again, do I want to be holding him while he takes his last breath?
This is so hard. I made this decision last July with my 18 year old Regina Renee. I held her for hours as her body become stiff. I could not even let her go when she was gone. Yeah, I was in bad shape.

I will put him back in his room while I am at church. Maybe I’ll come home to an empty food plate. He is starving to death.

My heart is in a million pieces.

To think, I got his diabetics under control and it was for naught.

So sorry for what you’re facing. I faced the same last month and know the heartache.

I am so sorry to hear this news. It is never an easy decision to make to say goodbye to our fur babies. My heart goes out to you.

Fly free sweet Robert Ray. Watch over everyone who loves you.

Hey Tammy.....I already posted in the FB group and I'm so sorry for what you're going through. There's never an easy way to lose someone we love as much as you love Robert Ray. It would be so much easier if we didn't have to make the decision but as I said, when we adopt them, we promise them they'll be happy, well cared for and loved....and if the time comes when nothing we can do is good enough, we'll be there right next to them when they leave the body that has failed them, surrounded by all the love we have for them.

You have a lot of people who care Tammy. We'll all be here to help you.
